There is no health without mental health. In today’s world, with the ever-growing increase in psychological problems across all age groups, it is especially important to highlight the importance of mental health in its relationship with the overall health of an individual. Since time immemorial there has been great concern regarding physical health, right from the time of conception till the last day of life, and the necessary interventions to prevent and treat problems of physical health have received their due attention. Unfortunately, there is no such regard for mental health. Each stage of life has a developmental milestone for physical and mental growth. However, if children are not provided with the ABCs of mental health, they will not be able to manage mental health crises at different stages in their lives; so, there is a need to introduce healthy traits in children in an enriching home and school environment.
